Greetings from Air Mail Hotel (GC5E6EE)!

Ready, set, stamp! Grab your postcards and load those coordinates.
Whether you’re planning to gather with your local geocaching community at a World Postcard Day-themed event or hunting for a Letterbox Hybrid, there are plenty of ways to be creative and join the celebration this year.
Long before geocaching built an entire community, the mailbox was another way to discover the world and connect with others.
We’ve officially signed, sealed, and delivered World Postcard Day!
This year, over 20,000 geocachers attended Events around the world to celebrate their shared love of postcards and adventure. We looked through every Event Cache gallery and were awestruck by the creative postcards, log sheets, and group photos.
We’re still seeing attended logs and postcards arrive, but here are some standout moments so far.
In 2024, we took inspiration from World Postcard Day and decided to create the World Postcard Day souvenir.
As geocachers attended Events far and wide in the week surrounding October 1, meeting their communities and making connections all around the world, we realized one thing: geocachers LOVE postcards.
This year, we partnered with artist and geocacher JankaSzklanka to create a special trackable postcard that encapsulates geocaching. You can find this design and the official Geocaching World Postcard Day postcard soon at Shop Geocaching.
Learn more about the artist and her inspiration for this design in an exclusive interview:
